I haven't used Logger Pro or Logger Lite YET, but I hope to learn more and use it more with my students.
I need some guided PD time to explore some of these programs!
I'm not sure what my students would say is necessary. They use a lot of different apps in order to prepare lab write-ups, and what they consider absolutely necessary would be different from what I consider necessary. I often am unaware of what app they used to create a certain diagram (for example).
I'm still learning about the programs we have on this campus, since I'm new.
It us useful for students to have access the interactive board software like mimio.
It would be great if students can access to AUTOGRAPH. Not necessary since there are many other available softwares. :)
Keynote and Photo Booth.
Lego robotics software
Logger Pro has not been loaded onto the image disk correctly. Students do not have folder of prepared experiments that would be on the properly installed version of Logger Pro. Might you correctly reinstall Logger Pro on the image disks or get the folder from Alan Chan for future imaging of student computers? Thanks.
